'Tis the Season

One advantage to all of this time spent waiting for "little two" is that we have had more time to enjoy the Christmas season. Eden is now on Christmas break (from pre-school) and my mom is here until the baby comes...

We have trimmed the tree with hearts:

We have anticipated the elf on the shelf's arrival every morning:

We have made an advent calendar to count down the days until Santa's arrival:

We have made Christmas cookies:

We even took a very exciting carriage ride through downtown:

Now you can come "little two", REALLY!

What is Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy?

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy, is one of the four main types of cardiomyopathy. Characterized by the abnormal growth of muscle fibers on the heart muscle, HCM often results in a thickened septum and/or left and right ventricle. The thickening of the muscle can result in a resistance of blood flow both in and out of the heart’s chambers. When this occurs, the heart must work harder to pump blood throughout the body.

While perceived to be somewhat rare, HCM affects an estimated one in 500 people. It is the number one reason for heart transplants and the most common cause of sudden cardiac death in people under age 30. HCM may be best known for its role in cardiac arrest and subsequent death in some young professional athletes. The cause of HCM is largely unknown, however current research suggests it is genetic in origin.
